FUEL BURNER.

Application led August 30, 1922. Serial No. 585,219.

This invention is designed to provide a mounting for fuel furnaces, particularly such burners as are used withl domestic furnaces. Such burners have to be adjusted to different kinds of furnaces and different heights of furnaces. One of the purposes of the invent-ion lis to make an adjustable mounting which will carry the burner so that it may be placed at the proper height in t-he furnace Without' any particular changes or attachments to the'furnace.l Another objettion to such burners is the noise.

One of the purposes of the invention is to reduce the noise incident to the operation of the burner. Features of the invention will appear from the specification and claim.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings as fol-iowsz- Fig. 1 shows a rear view of the burner.

Fig. Q a. section of the .combustion chamber and its mounting. j v

1 marks the combustion chamber, 2 a motor, 3 a fan driven by the motor and delivering air to the combustion chamber, 4 a pump driven by the motor and delivering atomizing air and 5 a fuel supply which is delivered to the atomizer. These may be of any ordinary construction. The lburner is supported on posts 6, three oftheseheing supplied so as to give a stable foundation Whatever the nature of the platform or floor on which the burner is mounted.i These are provided with the feet 7 which lare placedon extensions 8 against shoulders9 on4 the posts 6.

.35 rlhe feet 7 have the sockets 1,0 in Which rubber pads 11 'are forced.

A. bracket 12 is arrangedv underthe combustion chamber at the front end of the burner. This brackethas 1a' socket 12*1 for unit, the rubber pad forming sound dead- 'tor; means for supplying fuel to the chamreceiving a post 6 and the post is kept'in ad- 40 justment at -any desired height by a set screw 13. A bracket 14 having an opening through it is secured to the ump 4 and a post 6 extends through this racket and is adapted to slide therein and is locked in any desiredl adjustment by a set screw 15. A. similar bracket 16 is secured to the motor and has an opening` through it 'through which aL post 6 extends and is. free to slide therein, the post being locked in any desired adjustment by the set ,screw 17.

'l'.he burner and its opera-ting parts, it will be noted, form a single unit and the three posts form an adjustable mounting for this eners which reduce the sound very materially in the use of the burner.

W hatI claim as new is i In a fuel burner, the combination of a combustion chamber horizontally arranged and designed to deliver its flame horizontally from its inner end; a motor arranged at its outer end; air delivery devices delivering air to the chamber driven by the mober, said chamber, meter, devices and means being rigidly connected as a unit; three supports for said unit, two .bf said supports being arranged at the outer end and one of said su ppcrts in front of the center of gravity of the device; and means independently adjusting said supports to vary the height of the unit and level the unit longitudinally and transversely. n

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 75 my, hand.
